Reviews

""Urban Avant-Gardes and Social Transformation explores one of the key issues of the present avant-gardes: how they challenge and change urban conditions. Comprehensive and insightful, this is a timely and much appreciated publication."
-Iain Borden, University College London
"A timely rallying call. Miles shows how critical cultural practices can even now be agents of social transformation."
-Paul Usherwood, Northumbria University
